Keycap Puller in Dublin?

Kur4mA

Random I know... but does anyone know where I could buy a keycap puller (wire type) in Dublin City Center?

You know you don't need one to pull keys, right? You can just get a small knife or screwdriver or something and wiggle it under the edge of a cap until it pops off. Once you've got a space, they're pretty easy to pull off with your fingers.

I honestly haven't got a clue if anywhere in Dublin would stock one. Best bet is maybe grab a wire hanger from somewhere and make your own.

It's a whole set of keys I am swapping out, and the keycaps were quite expensive so wanted to use a puller rather than trying to force them off or use a crappy plastic keycap puller.

Surely the plastic one would do less potential damage than metal?

Just FYI here, but I've pulled entire sets of keys quite a few times using nothing but a butter knife. Absolutely no damage to switch or keycap assuming you don't go caveman on it, but up to you. I'd just get one online then, really. I'd be shocked if a single shop in Dublin stocked one.
